Battery enclosure for vehicle chassis with integrated support structure
The granted patent US12030390B2 describes a battery enclosure designed for vehicles, comprising several key components that enhance its structural integrity and functionality. The enclosure features a base plate with upper and lower surfaces, an external support structure with an upwardly extending wall, and a battery tray that includes raised surface features outlining individual battery cells. The lid of the enclosure is positioned on the battery tray's sidewall, creating a closed volume for the batteries. Notably, the design allows for the external support structure to be positioned below the battery tray's sidewall, ensuring a compact and efficient arrangement. The claims also specify that the enclosure can be made from composite materials and can be coupled to a vehicle chassis.
Additional claims detail various structural elements, such as the height differences between the raised features and the sidewalls, the inclusion of transverse cross-members for added support, and the presence of flanges that extend outward from the external support structure. These flanges are designed to enhance stability and load-bearing capacity. The patent also emphasizes the importance of seals formed between the lid and the battery tray, which contribute to the enclosure's integrity. Overall, the design aims to provide a robust and efficient solution for housing batteries in vehicles, addressing both structural and functional requirements.
